Poem by Vachel Lindsay

* * *

The Moon’s the North Wind’s cooky.
He bites it, day by day,
Until there’s but a rim of scraps
That crumble all away.

The South Wind is a baker.
He kneads clouds in his den,
And bakes a crisp new moon that . . . greedy 
North . . . Wind . . . eats . . . again!

1. Upon Returning to the Country Road
2. Sweet Briars of the Stairways
3. The Haughty Snail-King
4. The Spice-Tree
5. The Master of the Dance
